Painted by an unknown English artist, this oil on canvas masterpiece showcases the subject's commanding presence and his deep connection to navigation and exploration. Seated in a regal manner, the seafarer holds a Hadley Quadrant on his knee, showcasing his expertise in navigating uncharted waters. The Hadley Quadrant was an essential tool invented in 1731 for determining latitude at sea.

The explorer's attire exudes elegance and sophistication, with his powdered wig adding a touch of refinement to his appearance.
